Hello from Partials week!
Last week we held our evangelistic series in the school auditorium! Every night the missionaries led song service (I had so much fun singing familiar praise songs in Spanish like ''Abre mis ojos, oh Cristo'' which is ''Open the eyes of my heart, Lord'') Kandice's brother flew down and did the preaching--it was so nice to hear sermons in English! The school arranged transportation, so every night a bus load of people poured into the church. I think there were 12 or more baptisms on Friday night--one of them was Sheila, one of my 4th grade girls, and her mom!
This past Saturday night the missionaries played a soccer game against the girls of a neighboring church. We tied 2--2, playing harder than ever. Those girls were good! After the girls game (while the guys showed us what a real soccer game should look like!) we played games with the church kids--London Bridge is Falling Down, En la Mar y En la Tierra (On the Beach, On the Shore--which I always knew as On the Line Off the Line), and Simon Dice (Simon Says). Those kids went wild!
This week I plan to kick back, relax, finish all my grading, and maybe see a little more of Comayagua. During Partials week we have only three class periods so my school day ends at 9:30! It's always a bit of mini-vacation! (Of course, this means we're starting the fourth quarter already... which I'm not quite ready to realize yet!)
Mindy and Karen (two girls who taught here last year) are visiting from Walla Walla during their Spring Break! It's been fun to compare stories and experiences with people who went through the same thing!
Happy Spring Break to most of you! I hope you're enjoying some much needed R and R.
